One of the foremost auriculturul onranizatioosof Hyutli Carolina is the Farmers’ club, of Reech Island. At each meetint; some prominent am! popular question is named for debate, and the members generally take pait, 0 f carrying it, after having heard the arguments of the gentlemen selected to open. Ey this means all are enabled to keep posted on leading topics, and princi pally on the latest and most improved methods of farming. At their last monthly meeting, the subject discusfced was “The Savannah river and its influence on agricul ture."

There are Association, making •xcuees for the many, and some of them are serious, non-attendance of their executive The question is, can they be mot and committee, which bad been invited to participate in the day’s discu sion. Mr. Walsh also requested that a dele- gatiou of three from the club be named to attend the river convention on November 15th and 10th, at the Exposition building. This was put as a motion and unanimously a lopt- overcomeV Some of them, such as the control and improvement of our labor, the sale of our products, the purchase of our necessities, cannot be managed successfully by individual effort. These must be determined by co-operative action.

It can be done, and I be- ment of the river. The line of steam- ! iRve this organization will eventually boats established by the merchants of! direct it. Then the man who goes Augusta, he said, had iu themselves j from one fan,i to another will carry already saved the farmers of Hecch Island an amount equal to their church and school expenses. As tor the river, he continued, our people did not observe it sufficiently and make record of its me hods and me- anderings. He had possessed a map of the river, drawn in 1S-34, and loan ed it to the Confederate authorities during the war. It disappeared, how ever, after the surrender, and he had been unable to find it, although dili gent effort had been made. It was ten feet long, on the scale of an inch to the mile, and not only gave compre hensive information of the river it self, but was almost accurate enough to indicate every corn row along its banks. It could now' be use I to great advantage In the contemplated sur veys of the Savannah. Major Ham mond here gave instructive facts and figures relative to rainfall and rivers. The ancients selected the deserts for agriculture, taking the water to them, instead of seeking the rivers uud swamps, which were entirely too un certain. Speaking of the Savannah, he said that the immense amount of mud with which the river had become charged in these days, was attributa ble in most part to the oft-recurring and destructive fresnets. * This mud was gathered by the river in recent years because of the opening up of new land for planting purposes. The forests were cut away, and the red hills were left bare, to be torn up and carried of! yard by yard, and piece by piece, each succeeding shower. Con sequently the water course was rap idly filling in, and, as a matter of course, the water was bnuud to spread and do greater damage when the pre cipitation was sufficient. This wash ing away of the earth, be thought could be prevented by a system of terracing. Four heavy furrows plowed alopo- tlie hills m Tff on the immm would, in all probability, nave the desired efiect. It would give the po rosity of the soil sufficient time to act. The above method iiad been adopted by the French and proved very effec tive. They now spend $2,000,000 an nually in the work. In his opinion the work done on the river by the government had done more harm than good, by the large amount of earth loosened in one place to bank another. To give an idea of the mini’s injurious effect in the fishing industry alone, lie stated that years ago .1-2,0!)0 worth of shad bad been caught on Blue House bar in a short time; now it was doubtful if that amount offish existed in the entire river. The no- fenee law had also been injurious, as the fences hail been useful in preven ting the washes. He considered Ma jor Alexander’s plan of jacking up the buildings in Augusta for the pla cing of new foundations, an absurd one. He had seen rivers in Europe which had been hanked in, the sur faces of which were level with the house tops. The water had originally been below the houses, hut as the people raised the batiks the channel filled up, thus presenting the curious sight mentioned. Major Hammond also condemned Ihe jetty system, as at present work ed on the river. With regard to swamp lands, the bottoms of the Favannuh, if not de vastated by high water, would raise more corn than the entire production of South Carolina, besides other pro duce iu abundance. Really, the re sults would be so enormous that the people could afford to spend lots of money on the work of shutting out the freshets. Mr, J. 1). Everett, who has had years of experience in .swamp plant ing, followed. He always managed to make a living despite the freshets, and as for tiie mud, the Savannah would always be muddy so long as the dozens of creeks that fed it flowed between the red hills of Edgefield and Abbeville. He didn’t want the water dammed out, for then the prolific swamp lands wouldn’t be worth fifty cents an acre. The only way to suc ceed iu bottom planting is to pul in your crop and take the chances. with him a reputation upon which bis living depends, and by which the income ol his employer is measured. The improvement of our labor is the first step towards the increase of our income. While it is strange that we expect an increase from incompetent, insuf ficient idlers, it is equally strauge that we expect to make money from land utterly exhausted of its fertility Thousands of acres are w orked from year to year that would actually, in their yields, not pay for the first plow ing given to them. Of what con summate folly w e are guilty when we expend twelve months of industrious effort that will not pay us for one week of service given f J’oor lands need not be abandoned; if so, some of us might be altogether without. They can be and they ought to be im proved. Many methods of improve ment have been suggested—some of them good and practical, others ex pensive and long continued. 1 must believe, howeyer, that the best way to a bale of cotton to the acre, and, therefore, the best income from the farm, is through the barn-yard. A rotation of crops is put upou the land and it is improved, because it gives off certain elements and retains oth ers, alternately. .Still it is a process of exhaustion. Green crops may be put upon the land for the purpose of being given eventually and entirely to the soil. These crops furnish us no income except what comes subse quently, from the same soil, after much time has been expended in its recovery and it-' recuperation. Colts andcatth and sheep and hogs furnish us stock for the farm, milk and butter, wool, mutton and meat tor our own sustenance, an 1 a hand some income in the markets, while at the same time they furnish us the most valuable means of recovering our lands to remunerative yields. Ev- r<.:- own ynijn-ovemenj:. to say nothing of its income, should be at least a miniature stock farm. The one, while a valuable adjunct to the other, becomes itself possibly as much a source of revenue. Especial ly is this true if the stock is ol the best selection. Farmers look too much to what w e call cheap things—cheap land, cheap labor, cheap stock, etc. A broken-down cheap mule will often times not pay for its food. A worth less laborer, that is cheap because ho is worthless, will do a farmer more good over the fence than in his fields. A cheap cow that gives a gallon of milk a day may possibly make as much manure as one that cost more money, but sin* gives a poor return for the Jabo bestowed upon her, and her increase is scarcely worth the To make have the certainly trouble and care given it. the best income we must best appliances. This is true of stock on the farm, j Ilavingin view the improvement j of our land, we begin the raising of | stock f.*r manure This brings about i a valuable income in itself in the use { and sale of the products of the stock, and encourages a diversity of crops that gives us just that many more chances for increase of our income. Our lands find res* under crops ot c over and Bermuda, and at the same I time make a valuable yield in the j sale of the crops or the raising of j stock. Every farm in the State can I raise barley and rye, clover and B r- muda, to furnish colts enough to meet its demands and some for sale; to maintain cattle enough to make good increase in sales and improved sheep and hogs, and then enough hay to sell to meet the expense of the outlay. Ali this can be done without percep tibly hindering the usual crops of tiie farm and the land, at the same time brought to the highest slate of culti vation. Let us improve our land in siicli way as the eflbit at improve ment will itself bring an income. Stock-raising must in future be a good element in successful agricul ture at the South and i*‘ increasing the income on the farm. I.inie Water In Diphtheria. the operation, if properly done, is of much more importance to the vine than to the. tree. The best time of the year in which to trim a vine is in the Fall, after the frosts have denuded it of its leaves and the sap has ceased its flow upward, when all that is ne cessary is to keep in view the follow ing »iinpie directions: First, a bearing vine is composed of a main stem and arms or branches of what is called old, i. e., wood of pre vious growth to tliat of the previous year, and which is easily distinguish able by the dark color of its bark. Then there are smaller branches of last year.’s growth, called canes. Now remember, that it is only these canes that bear buds from which the fruit is formed—no fruit-buds forming on the old wood—and it is necessary, there fore, iu preserving tiie vine, to see that a sufficient number (but not too many) of these healthy young canes of last year’s growth are left for fruit-hearing, and at a sufii- ei . nt di-tauce apart that their lateral shoots will have room enough to spread without being too much crowd ed. To secure this result it is usually necessary to cut away part of the old wood nearly to tiie ground, to make room for thrifty young canes to take its place, when these young canes should be cut back to about half their length, so as to prevent the vine from becoming too thick at top. And where it is not so necessary that any of the old wood should be removed, it is much better that these young canes which are left* for fruit bearing be “shortened in” to about eight to ten inches in length, containing say two or three buds, and no more be allowed to remain than will grow without any danger of being crowded. In fact, all the smaller ami weaker ones should be removed, and only a few of the best, thus shortened in. be left for fruit, tl ereby causing the vine to overhear and the quality of the truit to be indifferent. As said before, now is tiie best time to prune, as if delayed until the approach of Spring it will cause the vine to so bleed as to dimin ish the yield, if not endanger the life of the vii.e. 1*1 mpics, Soces, Aches ami 1‘uins. When a hundred bottles of sarsapa rilla or other pretentious specifics fail to eradicate iu-born scrofula or con tagious blood poison, remember that B. 15. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) has gained many thousand victories, in as many seemingly incurable instan ces. isend to tiie Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ga., for “Book of Wonders” and be convinced. It is the only true blood purifier. G. W. Messer, Howell’s X Roads, Ga., writes: “I was afllicted nine years with sores. All the medicine I could take did me no good. I then tried B. B. B., and 8 bottles cured me sound.” Mrs. 8. M. Wilson. Round Moun tain, Texas, writes: “A lady friend of mine was troubled with bumps and pimples on lu-r face a ml neck. She took three bottles of B. B. B., and her skin got soft and smooth, pimples dis appeared, and her health improved greatly.” Jas. L. Bosworlh, Atlanta, Ga., writes: “Some years ago I contract- ed bloc|l poisoi^. j. had no appetite, my digestion was runeut,fneu'iiu drew up my limbs so 1 could hardly walk, my throat was cauterized five times. Hot Springs gave me no ben efit, and mj life was one of torture until I gave 15. B. B. a trial, and sur prising as it may seem, the use of five bottles cured me.” Work in ihe ' all Garden. Experience teaches that nothing is lo>t, and much is generally gained, by manuring in the fall if it cannot be plowed until Spring, it should still be manured in the fall ; but if possible always plow in the Fall, re-plow in the .Spring if necessary. All rubbish and reuisain of previous crops should be removed, and either placed in a compost heap or burned. The fall-ploughed ground as compared with Spring-ploughed will be dryer, will work much easier, ami also he in much better shape fur early work, in all gardening operations the ground can not he in too good a con dition, ami in most years Fall plough ing will open operations several weeks earlier than otherwise. The main point is to have the ground iu the right condition; and, by applying the immure iu the Fall, it comes in cou- tm-t with every particle of earth, and frosts disintegrate the particles of earth and hring them into the best possible condition for culture.

Grass is king The highest f >riced lands in the world are grass ands. It is stated that artificial meadows in England rent as high as per acre, and rarely less than $10. This class of land rents for more than the cultivated lands. In Holland, where the population is veiy dense, the highest priced lands are those iu S rass. In tliis country—notably the airy districts of New York and the blue grass region of Kentucky—those lands well set in choice grasses are the highest priced and most nrolitable. Grass is king—not because it pays the best profit of any general crop, for the labor anil expense employed, in Europe, in this country, ami in all portions of the world where there is a high degree of civilization existing, but because this crop is more general aud more abundant than any other, and enters more largely than any other Into the support and mainte nance of both man and beast and of fowls. It is nature’s chief, best gift to man, in the way of an agricultural crop. Few indeed are the lands that grass of some kind does not grow up on spontaneously* It covers the waste 1 daces and makes them beautiful, it s the surest of all agencies for the maintenance and recuperation of soil fertility. It »» nature’s own restoier. It grows in the day and in tiie night, weekdays and Sunday. The farmer who devoted the major portion of his land and his attention to the grass crop, combined with stock raising, is the most apt to succeed.
